I had hid's on my old z now I'm wanting them back on my new one, Last time I bought a decent quality kit off a member on here which were great! Thing is I purchased an eBay kit which I spent 2 hours fitting as I wanted the ballets hidden etc ( latest kits seem to have shorter wires then the old kits it seems!!) Now they lasted a grand total of 1 hour befor one of the bulbs blew! Soooo where can I get a decent quality kit from please, tried searching with minimal luck

To anyone who has done a fuse box removal knows well the rather un-natural neck breaking , back cricking, arm and hand wrenching position you have to work in, but when the result clears two issue`s in one go it has to be worth it. Todays workshop folley was presenting a rather strange habit of loosing all of the volty sparks from the battery after two or three days, the owners had tried a couple of new batteries and alternator checks passing with flying colours, the thing that made this even trickier to find was that occasionally such as when owner went on holiday for 2 weeks upon his return the engine fired up with no problem? Leak testing for stray battery …

the summers started operation 300 stage 1 (get car ready for mot) 1- no screenwash 2- abs light on first problem- cant find my locking nut hopefully better luck 2moro!

Now ive gone back to a viscus fan not put sorround on yet what sort of temp should i be looking at?

Hi guys, Not long had the car, drove home perfectly , but noticed a judder and miss fire during aceleration after driving it around town for a while once home.. noticed the battery wasnt tightened down with its brackets and has ripped off about 4 pipes, one sucks, and one blows, as you can see by the pics the unit attached to the passenger wing has a tube coming off the bottom with a plastic T attached, any help where these tubes all go? and in what order?? pics below. thanks!

Ive just fired up the 300 after a 3 month lay up, went first time. The oil presure guage has stayed at 0 and the boost guage is over to the left and neither are moving when the engine is run, any ideas ?

I have been trying to find the list of renewable bits that you need to go with the manual conversion. I know MJP is the best to get them from but need to know what to ask for.

Are the rear rack gaiters on the hicas the same as the front ones thanks taff.

hey Guys, Might be a odd question but is there anyone within london who might be willing to help me do a gearbox oil change? More than happy to pay a price for the service too.! I am fairly new to the zx buiness so not confident on myown at the momment.!

Hey Guys, i recently got a manual twin turbo, there an issue where after hard accelaretion if i hold the clutch in to come to a stop it will cut out on me. it only happenes after hard acceleration. i can stop it if i feather the accelerator but it is a bit annoying and sometimes quite dangerous! Any reaon for this? i think it is a manual converstion too. Its got HKS twin dump valves if that has anything to do with it?

I had my heater core split a while ago, which was replaced and everything was good. However for the past few months there has been a strange sucking noise coming from under the dash when the heater is on. The only thing I can liken it to is when your drinking from a glass with a straw, and when there isn't much liquid left it makes a similar noise. It basically sounds like water (or another liquid) being sucked through something. It only happens when the heater is on, (which at the moment in this weather is all the time). I've also noticed that it only happens when I have been driving for a bit then come to a stop, or when I pull away from standing. I'm not…

Anyone got a picture of a manual gearbox showing the 3 sensors in the side of it?

I need some help identifying which plugs go to what as some of them were unplugged when I got the car. This is the bundle that comes through the inner wing by the brake master cylinder/small fuse box. Im guessing one of the them is for the boost solenoid that was there. I think B is something to do with the starter or gearbox, I have a vague memory of it going down from there when I took it out Cheers

Quick clutch service last month also revealed these scarey nuts fitted on this zed rear wheel, there was barely three turns on each nut, goodness knows how they stayed on? (sorry pic blurry) Jeff TT

What is it with big boxes? must be a guy thing, however big boxes often mean big cost and this one was no exception, we fitted a replacement exhaust for on a 350z and the owner wanted genuine Nissan and well here is nearly £500 worth of rear back box and intermediate pipe...yikes! Jeff TT

Just a heads up to be careful when adding additional cables into existing circuits on your zed, cable size and fuse ratings need to be taken into account, and Nissan do things a bit back to front with the switching circuits electing to switch the earth rather than the live supply on most of the smaller circuits. Case in point I dealt with over the past week, a zed displaying some odd electrical issues with the lighting circuit and dash cluster. No fuses were blown and no obvious reason for the problems with the lights and non functioning dash cluster. Digging deeper and following the wiring looms nothing showed out, removing the dash cluster also intially faile…

Hi all, My 300zx tt is playing up on kick down, splutters and hesitates a little, was wondering if these are fitted with a maf sensor? , if so where would i find it? intending on doing a service shortly also. cheers ;)

You guys still ok for the 30th March for the rolling road, as I need to send a deposit??? Dave

Moved the zed out of the garage , washed it dried it off put it back in the perfectly dry garage and where the car was there is now a plate size puddle of oil.....how !!! The car has only done 150 miles since getting it back and again problems....getting so fed up ....keep an eye in the for sale section
